Amir Lehavot Wins WSOP 2011 $10,000 Pot-Limit Hold’em

Lehavot, who now lives in Weston, Florida, was also collecting his first WSOP title and, of course, a bracelet after overcoming 248 other competitors and in particular South African Jarred Solomon in heads-up play

Johannesburg native Solomon – who left with $354,460 for his second place finish – just missed out on becoming only the South African to collect a WSOP title after Cape Town’s Mark Vos secured the 2006 $2,000 no limit hold’em event.

What is particularly strange about Lehavot’s victory is that no other player has managed to lift a second bracelet in this event, with the 40-year-old becoming the 48th Pot-Limit Hold’em winner in WSOP history.
